Back To The Start (CD)

Martin Smith

An all-new collection of songs that speak of personal revival.

Martin Smith is best known as the frontman, co-founder and primary songwriter for the ground-breaking modern worship band Delirious?. After almost 20 years of spreading a new sound of worship with Delirious?, Martin has recently experienced a reinvigorated season of living in community. And it is this new season that has birthed an all-new collection of songs that speak of personal revival. Back To The Start springs from a man refreshed and reconnected with Jesus and with his local Church body.

Emmanuel is one of several anthems on Back To The Start written and recorded with Martin’s extended community of artists/songwriters. The collection also features co-writes with Michael W. Smith, Chris Tomlin, Rend Collective Members (Gareth Gilkeson, Chris Llewellyn), Tim Hughes, Reuben Morgan and more.

Back To The Start further features Song Of Solomon, a song Martin describes as “one of the most intimate songs I’ve ever written,” a duet with Sarah Bird on Waiting Here For You, and vocals from Martin’s daughter Elle-Anna on the bonus track, God’s Great Dance Floor. Elle-Anna is further featured in the lead role of Martin’s video, Back To The Start (God’s Great Dance Floor), which has received over 725,000 You Tube views. Written by Martin, Nick Herbert and Chris Tomlin, God’s Great Dance Floor has sparked a dance-revival among the faithful.

Still making relevant music, Martin’s Back To The Start springs from a man revived and excited to once again play a lead role in the ongoing call to worship, a passionate model for young worship leaders of today.
